New Spring Menu at Pinot Provence in Costa Mesa, CA

Pinot Provence
opened in 1998 and is located inside the Westin South Coast Plaza Hotel. The
outer entrance was a little hard to find. The driveway is located between the
hotel and Scott’s Seafood. Look for the Pinot Provence Valet Parking sign. The
exterior is reminiscent of a French chateau with its staircase leading you to
an oak door entrance. The beautiful outdoor patio has lots of ambient lighting,
just the right setting for a spring luncheon.

Newly appointed Executive Chef, Alfonso Ramirez,
shared some highlights of the new spring menu. There is a delightful emphasis on
the light and subtle side of rustic French cuisine for the new season. Let’s
take a look:

Crab and Melon Salad is Cavaillon melon, Dungeness
crab, coriander yogurt, and port wine. It was light and colorful. The crab and
melon flavors paired well together. The artful use of thinly sliced watermelon
as a background made a beautiful presentation. Thumbs up!
